Maltese court rejects Entain bid to restore Sportingwin branding ban

Regulation

Malta’s Civil Court rejected Entain Operations’ request to reinstate an injunction against SB Entertainment, which operates Sportingwin, on 9 July 2025. The judge found that Entain’s filing did not meet procedural requirements; the underlying trademark dispute remains unresolved, while Entain is pursuing a separate cancellation process at the EUIPO.

The ruling leaves Sportingwin’s branding ban unrestored while the trademark dispute continues through separate proceedings.
